Description

  • Develop a flexible treatment framework that emphasizes individualized care
  • Master OCD’s complex web of co-occurring conditions
  • Blend DBT, ACT and ERP into CBT for powerful, personalized treatment

 

OCD clients rarely fit into a single treatment protocol …

Your clients often come in with a mix of anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, or personality traits that make rigid treatment protocols miss the mark.

Reality is, rigid conformity to a protocol won’t cut it … therapists like you need the flexibility to see the full picture and adapt your approach to the person in front of you.

… and that’s exactly what you’ll learn in this 1-day live online webinar with Jon Hershfield, MFT, director of the Center for OCD and Anxiety at Sheppard Pratt.

Jon Hershfield’s integrative approach to OCD treatment has been honed over 15 years as a national leader, he knows how to create a framework that helps clients move forward. In this training you’ll learn how to …

  • Avoid missed diagnosis and overdiagnosis of OCD
  • Integrative strategies from DBT, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Radically Open-DBT and more, into approaches you’re already using
  • Spot the 8 main OCD themes and know which questions to ask for diagnostic clarity
  • Direct treatment when autism, depression, substance use, borderline and other diagnoses are present

And so much more … Walk away from this training with elevated confidence and training in treating OCD.
